feeding the slugs in makes hoisting and reefing hard work and a two man job ted, one on the halyard and one one the handle

A rope luff goes straight off th e roller into the track ..you know like a proper sail lol and all you do is hoist the damn thing with no fiddling about !
to reef you just slacken off and wind !

incidentally i think a bell mouth rope feeder can be retro fitted to do away with the slugs!
oddly enough ive had several slug breakages this year ( (8 altogether) ..so they do have a shorter life than the sail !
